After three surgeries in the last 5 months, its now time to get out about, carefully though, and McKee Gardens is always a nice relaxing visit. McKee has various art exhibits throughout the year and now they have Sean Kenney’s 'Nature Connects' made with LEGO Bricks, an award-winning and record-breaking exhibition that uses beautiful works of art made from simple toy blocks to explore animal endangerment, the balance of ecosystems, and mankind’s relationship with nature from November 13, 2020 through April 25, 2021.
As an example, the LEGO Lizard took 49,034 bricks and 503 hours so imagine the numbers and hours for the other displays, quite a labor of love. As always I've included a photo of the Gardens signature Stone Bridge. Best viewed in download. Please enjoy, it was a delightful exhibition and spring is in the air, well summer in Florida...
Cheers
